Best hop rubber?

[ikarma70]

Hi all, I recently bought a dboys aks74u and it's a good gun but the hop and barrel let's it down so I have bought a lonex hop unit and a lonex tightbore 6.03mm barrel however I forgot the rubber.

What's the best rubber for performance and price?

Many thanks

Andy

Ive not had a lot of experimenting, but a madbull blue 60 degree rubber works wonders with my ICS SA80.

If you get the red one it comes with a H nub rather than a standard one, which again worked wonders for me

Bought a madbull red 60deg on the way, hopefully it will improve the range and performance!

That one comes with a H nub. Youll want to find somewhere you can both:

take apart your gun to fit the new rubber/nub

AND test fire the gun, at least 20m.

When installing a H nub, it can be hard to set, resulting in a spin tgat sends your BBs off to one side, so it might take a couple of tries.

And when you do find a place, make sure that nobody can see you with an assault rifle and call the ARU, else you may be in for a surprise

The Madbull blues are very good, the red one AFAIK is for higher FPS setups, like in the region of 400s.

Prometheus purple or marui black standard AEG ones.

Much like Dex I'm a fan of the prometheus purple.
